- After deployment, validate performance by monitoring report load times for all key dashboards.
- Track user interactions like filtering, slicing, and drill-through to check responsiveness.
- Use Power BI Usage Metrics to see real-world performance patterns.
- Run Performance Analyzer on critical pages to measure DAX and visual rendering time.
- Check refresh duration and ensure incremental refresh works as expected.
- Validate reports on different devices, including mobile and web, for consistent speed.
- Gather feedback from end users about perceived delays or lag.
- Address any bottlenecks by optimizing visuals, measures, or data model as needed.
